Review on Trace by RisingStack by Mike Carter

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best open source, full featured Application Lifecycle Management

The best part about this tool is that you can use it for all your microservices applications with ease! I have used other tools in my past but they were difficult or required additional plugins which was not always possible when running CI/CD pipelines at scale (e g Jenkins). This one has everything built-in out of box so no need any external dependencies like Docker containers are needed if we want trace logs from our application container itself - just docker run --name=myapptracebyrisingstack /binaries/. Then add few lines into build pipeline script as shown below:- 1) Add environment variable TRACE_LOGS=/path where log files will be stored 2.) Create file called.tracerc inside root folder 3.). Set logging level 4.), Enable debug mode 5), Start app 6,) Wait till its up & Running 7)). Now start writing code 8)),.
